Advanced Engineering Mathematics with MATLAB

The author of this edition combines a teaching and practical experience that is rare among authors of advanced engineering mathematics books. It offers a smaller, easier to read, and useful version of this classic textbook, with a focus on ordinary differential equations, Laplace transforms, Fourier series, separation of variables, Sturm-Liouville problem, and special functions. MATLAB is still employed to reinforce the concepts, and worked solutions are given in the back of the book.

In the four preceding editions, the author has presented a text that is firmly rooted in the mathematics that engineers and scientists must comprehend and apply. Drawing on decades of teaching at the United States Naval Academy and the United States Military Academy, as well as twenty-five years of service at (NASA) Goddard Space Flight, he combines a unique teaching and practical experience that is rare among authors of advanced engineering mathematics books. This edition offers a more compact, easier-to-read, and valuable version of this classic textbook. While competing textbooks continue to expand, the book presents a slimmer, more concise option. Instructors and students alike are abandoning the encyclopedic tome with its ever-increasing price aimed at undergraduates. To assist in selecting the topics included in this new edition, the author reviewed the syllabi of various engineering mathematics courses taught at a wide range of schools. Due to time constraints, an instructor can select perhaps three to four topics from the book, the most likely being ordinary differential equations, Laplace transforms, Fourier series, and separation of variables to solve the wave, heat, or Laplace's equation. Laplace transforms are occasionally replaced by linear algebra or vector calculus. The Sturm-Liouville problem and special functions (Legendre and Bessel functions) are included for completeness. Topics such as z-transforms and complex variables are now offered in a companion book, Advanced Engineering Mathematics: A Second Course, by the same author. MATLAB is still employed to reinforce the concepts taught. Of course, this Edition continues to offer a wealth of examples and applications from the scientific and engineering literature, a highlight of previous editions. Worked solutions are given in the back.
